Mel's comeback, Norwegian trolls, and another Paul Giamatti dour-edy round out the home video offerings for this week.

The Beaver
Mel Gibson stars as a man in a deep depressing who begins to communicate with his wife, kids and employees via a beaver hand puppet he finds in a dumpster behind a liquor store--were it not for the actor's personal troubles, he'd be in the Oscar mix. Co-stars Jodie Foster, who also directed, Anton Yelchin and Jennifer Lawrence. Now on home video, read our theatrical review and watch the trailer
